The house-museum of famous writer, dramatist and public figure Derenik Demirchyan was founded in 1977 in the Yerevan apartment where the famous writer (1877-1956) lived from 1929 until his death. It is a branch of the Museum of Literature and Art. It has 670 main and almost as many auxiliary materials, which best represent the multi-year creative path of the writer.

The house-museum consists of three memorial rooms and one exhibition hall. The first room summarizes the early period of the writer’s life and activity, the second is his office, and the third room includes the mature period of his literary and social activity. The exhibition hall mainly presents photos of Demirchyan-playwright and the productions of his works.
